Yes, I think we will continue to see this strange paradox: the more AI evolves the more we will crave the real.

It's certainly going there. And yes, we will crave the human touch more and more.

There is similar problem with manufacturing ⚙️🧰🛠️ in the Estados Unidos: automated, quick and cheap vs enduring quality in the market place. Fighting for a niche customer network that seeks quality products in a price competitive market is a big challenge. Most people can't afford to pay the higher prices required to keep quality operators in business during these inflationary times.

True! Automated and cheap vs enduring quality.

It seems like the end goal with this technology is to have zero interaction with any human. I'm stubbornly clinging to the real people interactions~rare as they are now.

I think if a corporation were explicit in “use our machine to fix your issue”, I’d be less adverse. I think. I’m not certain of that. But my initial repulsion is the facade of interacting with a person. That initial premise creates inherent distrust and I am immediately both wary and less likely to seek that business out for further service. You are right, talking to a bot makes me crave the human

It would be nice if we could return to a society centered around humanity and meaningful interactions and relationships. But for now it seems to me that white-collar/screen and zoom based/college-credentialled work is quickly being outsourced to AI World, just as manufacturing and blue-collar work was outsourced to China and the Global South beginning in the 90s.

Unfortunately, yes. But it's a curious paradox that AI is supposedly getting better but wanted less and less.
